## About this market
This is one of the largest consulting rosters in the register, because industrial operations are where European AI consulting actually earns its fees. The documented work spans the stack. appliedAI's Reinhausen case documents technique, architecture and outcome together. ML6's advisory sits on production machine-learning delivery, including lab-inspection vision for Syngenta that doubled analysis speed across half a million wells a year. AI Superior's anonymized builds name their methods, including pill detection at 99.9% accuracy. dida consults from computer-vision depth (Deutsche Bahn anomaly detection with the models named), Alexander Thamm has run German industrial data programs since 2012, and DataNorth's work runs from a food manufacturer's daily operations to 55 prioritized use cases at a waste-management operator.

Merixstudio is the newest entry and an unusually concrete one: its Poznań International Fair installation feeds 24 sensors, thermal cameras and LiDAR into a single application, with a custom-trained model counting people in real time and a predictive layer forecasting indoor conditions.

Sort candidates with one distinction: shop-floor systems and group-level data programs are different purchases. Ask where the documented work sat—sensor or warehouse—and match it to where your problem lives.
